Kota Kinabalu: The Energy Commission of Sabah (ECoS) has conducted comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of key energy projects in Sabah, aligning with the commission’s efforts to strengthen the electricity supply system in Sabah.
Datuk Ir. Abdul Nasser Abdul Wahid, accompanied by delegations from ECoS and Sabah Electricity, visited several existing power stations and energy development project sites located at the West Coast of Sabah.
Locations visited included the SPR Energy Power Plant, Kimanis Power Plant, Sabah Oil & Gas Terminal (SOGT), Tenom Pangi Hydro Station, and two new project sites in Kimanis.
The purpose of these visits was to assess project progress, ensure compliance with safety and technical standards, and evaluate the operational efficiency of existing power plants that play a crucial role in the stability of Sabah’s electricity supply.
“This close monitoring is vital to ensure all projects are on schedule and can increase generation capacity. Both of these new projects will contribute 200MW of energy to the grid upon completion,” said Nasser.
He also emphasized that these efforts are part of the Sabah State Government’s commitment to address electricity supply issues and strengthen the state’s energy sector holistically, in line with the goals outlined in the Sabah Energy Roadmap and Master Plan 2040 (SE-RAMP 2040).
“ECoS is committed to ensuring that every energy project in Sabah is developed and managed efficiently, safely, and sustainably.
Close cooperation among government agencies, GLC companies, and industry players is key to the successful implementation of these projects,” he added.
